This recipe is inspired by my favorite Chinese restaurant in Nairobi, they usually serve cucumbers and carrots soaked in sugar water as appetizers and each time i always eat my share and most of everyone else. Soak the carrots and the cucumber in sugar water for a few hours; then drain and add green pepper, onions and croutons to the salad and toss. To prepare the onions, soak them in a mixture of vinegar, oil, sugar, salt and grated ginger, feel free to sprinkle some of this mixture to your salad. To prepare the croutons, microwave a slice of whole wheat bread till dry then cut off the edges and cut the dry bread into small square shapes. The resulting salad is amazing.
